2010 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6

Legroom felt narrow for passenger over tranny tunnel. see full Lexus IS review
2010 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review
2009 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review
2009 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review
2009 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6

Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. see full Lexus IS review

Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review
